REPORT OF 
THE CENTRAL CUBAN RELIEF COMMITTEE. 

New York, June I5tli, 1898. 

Hon. Wm. R. Day, 

Secretary of State, 

Washington, D. C. 

Sir: — In obedience to your request, we beg to submit the fol- 
lowing report of the organization, objects, labors and results at- 
tending the work of the Central Cuban Relief Committee, from 
the date of its appointment— January ist, 1898, to June 15th, 
1898. 

The President, deeply moved by the suffering and starvation 
of the non-combatants in the Island of Cuba, caused to be issued, 
on the 24th of December last, the following appeal and proclama- 
tion: 



"DEPARTMENT OF STATE, 

"Washington, December 24, 1897. 

"By direction of the President, the public is informed that, 
in deference to the earnest desire of the Government of the 
United States to contribute by effective action toward the rehef 
of the suffering people in the Island of Cuba, arrangements have 
been perfected by which charitable contributions, in money or in 
kind, can be sent to the island, by the benevolently disposed people 
of the United States. 

"Money, provisions, clothing, medicines and the like, articles 
of prime necessity, can be forwarded to General Fitzhugh Lee, the 
Consul-General of the United States at Habana, and all articles 
now dutiable by law, so consigned, will be admitted into Cuba free 
of duty. The Consul-General has been instructed to receive the 
same and to co-operate with the local authorities and the charitable 
boards, for the distribution of such relief among the destitute and 
needy people of Cuba. 

"The President is confident that the people of the United States, 
who have, on many occasions in the past, responded most gener- 
ously to the cry for bread from peoples stricken by famine or sore 
calamity, and who have beheld no less generous action on the part 
of foreign communities, when our own countr}'men have suffered 
from fire or flood, will heed the appeal for aid that comes from the 
destitute at their own threshold and especially at this season of 
good will and rejoicing, give of their abundance to this humane 

end. 

"JOHN SHERMAN." 



AVhile the response to this appeal, in the way of public dona- 
tions, was gratifying, it demonstrated that adequate means for 
the great relief, so urgently needed could only be guaranteed 
through the organized labors of a Committee appointed for the 
purpose, that should, through all means in its power and by the 
efforts of co-operating committees called into existence through- 
out the country, reach the hearts and sympathies of the generous 
American people. Accordingly, Miss Clara Barton, President 
of the American National Red Cross, was called into consulta- 
tion with the President and the Department of State. 

The outcome of this conference, held on the last day of the 
year 1897, may be best shown by the following letters : 



"DEPARTMENT OF STATE, 

"Washington, January i, 1898. 
"Miss Clara Barton, President, 

American National Red Cross, 

Washington, D. C 

"Dear Madam : — After my conference with you yesterday I 
saw the President, who expressed his great pleasure that the Red 
Cross Association will so cheerfully respond to the initiative which 
the President has taken toward the relief of the suffering people 
in Cuba. No less could have been expected by him in view of the 
good work which the Red Cross has done in the past, when called 
upon to fulfill its humane mission of relieving suffering, either at 
home or in foreign countries, and acting as the medium for the 
effective application of the charitable gifts of our citizens. 

"With the President's approval, I have the pleasure to suggest 
to you the way in which it is deemed that the co-operation of the 
Red Cross, in this humane endeavor, can be most practically 
accomplished. 

"The first necessity is the organization in New York City, as 
the most convenient center cf operations, of a committee whose 
function it will be to appeal to the kindly sentiments of the Ameri- 
can people in behalf of the sufferers in Cuba; to receive contribu- 
tions in money or kind and to forward the same to Havana, con- 
signed to the Consul-General of the United States, he having been 
placed, by the President, in sole charge of the receipt and appli- 
cation of the relief in the island ; the Committee as a whole to act 
under the supervision and direction of the Secretary of State, with 
whom it may correspond on all matters of business arising and 
requiring direction, in the name of the Government of the United 
States. 

"In view of the generous and cordial offer of Mr. Louis 
Klopsch, of the Christian Herald, the President desires that, if 
agreeable to you, he shall be a member of the committee and, in 
concert with a third member, to be designated by the Chamber of 

8 



Commerce of New York, co-operate with the representative of the 
Red Cross, to make effective the effort which is now being put 
forth. 

"The representation of the Red Cross on the proposed rehef 
committee is lef': to you. While the President would be most grati- 
fied were you in person to act as the second member, he recognizes 
that the duties and labors of the office might more conveniently 
fall upon a representative of the Red Cross in New York City, and 
will cheerfully accept your suggestion that Mr. Stephen E. Barton, 
Second Vice-President of the American Nation?! Red Cross, serve 
in that capacity. 

"Mr. Barton will be furnished with letters to Mr. Louis Klopsch 
and to Mr. Alexander E. Orr, President of the New York Cham- 
ber of Commerce, explaining the circumstances under which their 
co-operation toward the formation of the proposed committee is 
solicited. 

"It is trusted that speedy action may be had, so that the organ- 
ization of the Central Cuban Relief Committee may be announced 
to the people of the United States by the Secretary of State, at the 
earliest possible day. 

"I am, my dear Madam, very respectfully yours, 
(Signed) "ALVEY A. ADEE, 

' "Second Assistant Secretary." 



"DEPARTMENT OF STATE, 

"Washington, January i, 1898. 
"Mr. Stephen E. Barton, Second Vice-President, 
American National Red Cross, 
New York City. 

"Sir: — After conference with Miss Clara Barton, President of 
the American National Red Cross, and with the full knowledge 
and approval of the President, I have the pleasure to inform you 
that you have been selected to represent the Red Cross on a commit- 
tee of three, which it is proposed to organize in New York City, for 
the solicitation and collection of money and supplies for the relief 
of the suffering people in the Island of Cuba and to attend to the 
forwarding of such relief to Havana, consigned to the United 
State Consul-General at that port. 

"The other members of the committee will be Mr. Louis 
Klopsch, proprietor of the Christian Herald, and a person to be 
named by the President of the New York Chamber of Commerce, 
having regard to his qualifications to act as Treasurer of the Com- 
mittee and to direct the practical operations involved in transport- 
ing such supplies as may be offered to New York, and the convey- 
ance thence to the island. The Committee as a whole is to act 
under the general supervision and direction of the Secretary of 
State, with whom it may correspond in all matters of business. 



arising and requiring direction, in the name of the Government of 
the United States. 

"I enclose letters addressed to Mr. Klopsch and to Mr. Alex- 
ander E. Orr, President of the Chamber of Commerce, explaining 
the circumstances under which their cordial co-operation is invited 
in this work of humanity, which has aroused the interest of the 
President and Government and which has already called forth 
earnest response from the people of the United States. 
"Very respectfully yours, 
(Signed) "ALVEY A. ADEE, 

"Second Assistant Secretary. 
"Enclosures : 

"To Mr. Louis Klopsch, original. 
"To Mr. A. E. Orr, original." 

The above letters, together with others of similar purport 
addressed to Mr. Louis Klopsch and Mr. Alexander E. Orr, 
were entrusted to Mr. Stephen E. Barton who had attended a 
meeting, with Aliss Clara Barton, at the Department of State on 
New Year's Day. The letters to Messrs. Orr and Klopsch were 
delivered the following day, the former selecting Hon. Charles 
A. Schieren, as the representative of the New York Chamber 
of Commerce, and the latter accepting the invitation to member- 
ship on the Committee. 

This Committee met on the third of January and organized 
by the selection of Mr. Barton as Chairman and Mr. Schieren as 
Treasurer, and at the next meeting Mr. O. B. Booth was ap- 
pointed as Secretary. 

The active work of the Committee was inaugurated by send- 
ing, at the conclusion of the second meeting, a telegraphic mes- 
sage to the Governor of each State and Territory, announcing 
the appointment of the Committee by the President, expressing 
his great desire that the people come to the relief of the starving 
reconcentrados and asking their hearty co-operation. Favor- 
able responses began to arrive the following day, notifying the 
Committee, either of the appointment of prominent gentlemen, 
in the several cities within each State, to organize the relief work, 
or the issuance of executive proclamations to that effect. The 
work was thus well under way within a few days. 

A second proclamation was shortly issued by the Secretary 
of State, as follows: 

"RELIEF OF SUFFERING IN CUBA, 



"DEPARTMENT OF STATE, 

"Washington, January 8th, 1898. 
"To the Public: — The undersigned, Secretary of State of the 
United States, had the honor, on the 24th of December (printed 



10 



herewith), to make known to all charitably disposed people in 
this country, the appeal of the President for aid, in the form of 
money or supplies, toward the speedy relief of the distressing desti- 
tution and suffering which exists among the peoph of Cuba. 

"The gratifying interest which his countrymen have shown in 
all parts of our land in that humane appeal, has led the President 
to recognize the need of orderly and concerted effort, under well- 
directed control, if timely assistance is to be given by the public to 
the sick and needy of Cuba. He has, therefore, appointed, with 
the co-operation of the American National Red Cross, the New 
York Chamber of Commerce and one of the leading representa- 
tives of the religious community, a Central Cuban Relief Com- 
mittee, with headquarters in New York City, composed of the 
following members : 

"Stephen E. Barton, Chairman, Second Vice-President of the 
American National Red Cross : 

"Charles A. Schieren, Treasurer, a member of the New York 
Chamber of Commerce; and 

"Louis Klopsch, proprietor of the Christian Plerald. 

"It will be the office of the committee, so organized, not only 
to receive and forward to the United States Consul-General at 
Habana, such money and necessary supplies as may be contributed 
by the people of the United States, but to invoke, in its own name 
and through the three great interests it fitly represents, the con- 
current effort of local relief boards throughout the United States, 
and to invite the kindly aid of the transportation agencies of the 
country, for the prompt conveyance of contributed supplies to the 
seaboard and their shipment thence to Cuba. 

"The Consul-General at Habana is, in turn, assured of the 
effective co-operation of every available agency in the Island of 
Cuba, in order that life may be saved and suffering spared. The 
Spanish Government, welcoming the aid thus tendered, will facili- 
tate the work and to that end will admit into Cuba, free of duties 
and charges, all articles otherwise liable to tax, when duly con- 
signed to the Consul-General. 

"By direction of the President, the undersigned appeals to the 
people in every city and town, to the municipal authorities thereof, 
to the local boards of trade and transportation, to corporations and 
others producing the necessities of life and to all whose hearts are 
open to the cry of distress and affliction, to second the generous 
effort now being made and, by well-directed endeavor, make its 
success truly responsive to the sentiments of charity that have ever 
characterized the American people. 

"JOHN SHERMAN, 

"Secretary of State."

The first contribution to the Committee was the sum of $i,ooo 
donated by Mr. Klopsch, in the name of the Christian Herald. 
A similar amount was placed at the disposal of the Committee 
in the hands of the United States Despatch Agent at New York, 
Mr. I. P. Roosa, out of the donations remitted direct to the Sec- 
retary of State. 

The first shipment of relief was made by the Committee on 
the fourth of January. It consisted of i6o cases of condensed 
milk, forwarded gratuitously by the Ward Line of steamships 
and consigned to Consul-General Lee at Havana. The second 
shipment, consisting of 39 tons of food, clothing and medicine, 
was made in the same way on January 12th. A complete state- 
ment of shipments made by the Committee and the quantities 
and character of the supplies sent to each port, is hereto ap- 
pended, together with other statistics. 

A circular appeal was made to all churches of Greater New 
York, with gratifying results. Circulars, inviting co-operation, 
were sent to more than 10,000 Boards of Trade, National, State 
and Local Commercial Associations. The detail of the Com- 
mittee's work immediately assumed proportions demanding a 
stafT of three stenographers and typewriters and two mailing 
clerks, and at one time there were employed at the headquarters 
and warehouse no less than fifteen persons. With the exception 
of Sundays and holidays, the of^ce has been opened and attended 
by the staff daily since the organization of the Committee, and 
usually until 6 or 7 P. M. 

The subject of free transportation of relief supplies was taken 
up during the first week, by addressing a letter to the President 
of every railroad of prominence and most of the coastwise steam- 
boat lines. Negotiations were opened with Mr. George R. 
Blanchard, Commissioner of the Joint Traf^c Association of 
New York, and the following freight circular was promulgated 
by that body: 



"TRANSPORTATION OF RELIEF SUPPLIES; ACCOUNT 

CENTRAL CUBAN RELIEF COMMITTEE APPOINTED 

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. 

"The Managers have adopted the following: 

"Resolved, That, responsive to the request of the Central Cuban 
Relief Committee appointed by the President of the United States 
and acting under the direction cf the Department of State, it shall 
be permissible for the railway companies parties to the Joint Traffic 
Association to forward, free of transportation charges, from points 
subject to its jurisdiction to or toward New York, N. Y., New 
Orleans, La., Mobile and Montgomery, Ala., and Tampa, Fla., 
shipments of food, clothing, medicines and other necessary sup- 



12 



plies intended for the use and relief of the inhabitants of the 
Island of Cuba who are suffering from sickness and famine, sub- 
ject to the conditions hereinafter provided and under such addi- 
tional rules and regulations as the several railway companies may 
establish in order to prevent the abuse of such privilege. 

"(i) Each and every package containing such supplies must 
be plainly marked: 'Cuban Relief,' and the precise contents and 
the value thereof, also the gross weight of each package, must be 
marked thereon. 

"(2) All such supplies to be forwarded via New York must 
be consigned to and packages must be marked : 

" 'Central Cuban Relief Committee, care of and notify I. P. 
Roosa, U. S. Gov't Despatch Agent, care of Ward Line Steam- 
ship Co., Pier 16, East River, New York.' 

"(3) All such supplies to be forwarded via New Orleans must 
be consigned to and packages must be marked : 

" 'Consul-General Lee, Havana, Cuba, via New Orleans, La.' 

"(4) All such supplies to be forwarded via either Mobile, 
Montgomery or Tampa must be consigned to and packages must be 
marked : 

" 'Consul-General Lee, Havana, Cuba, care of Plant System 
Steamships (either) Mobile, or Montgomery or Tampa.' 

"(5) Bills of lading will be issued only to the seaboard points 
named and not through to Havana, and the supplies must be de- 
livered to the railway companies parties to this Association, free of 
advance charges." 



The following circular issued by the Central Cuban Relief 
Committee is published for the information of the railway com- 
panies parties to the Association. It is requested that agents be 
instructed to call the attention of forwarders of such supplies to 
the directions and requirements contained therein :

"INSTRUCTIONS AS TO THE TRANSPORTATION OF 

CUBAN RELIEF SUPPLIES TO NEW YORK, NEW 

ORLEANS, MOBILE, MONTGOMERY, OR 

TAMPA, TO BE SHIPPED THENCE 

TO HAVANA. 

"Through the generosity of the Joint Traffic Association, com- 
posed of the principal railways east of Chicago, Peoria and St. 
Louis and north of the Ohio River and the C. & O. Railway south 
of that river, the Central CuDan Relief Committee is authorized 



13 



to announce that it is permissible for those railroads to transport, 
free of charge, all food, clothing and medical supplies that may be 
contributed in response to the sympathetic appeal made by the 
President of the United States to relieve the distress of famine and 
sickness in the Island of Cuba. 

"Free transportation will be given for such relief goods from 
New York to Havana, by the Ward Line of Steamships; from 
Montgomery, Mobile and Tampa to Havana, by the Plant System 
of Railways and Steamships, also from Washington, D. C, to 
Tampa, by the Southern Railway and connections, and from Louis-

All of the roads composing the Association, thus released by 
the resolution, cheerfully vied with each other in hastily volun- 
teering their services. Similar action was voluntarily and speedily 
taken by the Southern railroad companies, through the initiative 
of the Southern Railway Company, also by the great trunk lines 
west of the limits of the Joint Traffic Association and in New 
England. In fact, the railroads which denied us free transporta- 
tion were only two or three in number. Were it not probable 
that we should omit some, through lack of time to carefully in- 
vestigate, we would undertake to append a list of those roads 
which thus gave valuable aid to the great work of charity. All 
of the coastwise steamboat lines from Maine to Florida and the 
Ward, Mallory and Munson Hues, running to Cuban ports, took 
our supplies free, in many instances to the exclusion of the paid 
freight of their customers. 

Special praise should be given to Messrs. Jas. E. Ward & Co., 
of the Ward Line, running semi-weekly steamers to Havana and 
tri-monthly to Santiago de Cuba, Cienfuegos and other South 
Shore Cuban ports. By reference to our schedule of shipments 
hereto appended, it will be seen what a vast amount of tonnage 
was carried free for us by this company. In addition, this freight 
was loaded, unloaded, lightered r.nd put upon the Cuban docks by 
the Ward Line without charge to us. 

The public press from the first took a lively interest in our 
work. Every item of news in the development of the work was 
eagerly sought by them each day and was telegraphed broadcast 
in the news despatches. Thus a most stimulating and valuable 
aid was rendered to the efforts of the Committee. 

A large correspondence sprang up with inquiring and sym- 
pathetic people in all quarters of the country, resulting in the 
formation of a great many committees that raised and forwarded 
both funds and material. 

An examination of schedules of donors of both money and 
supplies, hereto appended, will convey a clearer idea of the ex- 
tent of committee help and the localities furnishing the greatest 
aid, than can be given in other words. In money donations the 
Committee received almost double the amount from the Chris- 
tian Herald that it did from all other sources combined, although 
in offerings of food, clothing and other supplies, for which the 
Committee especially appealed, the value, at very low estimates, 
aggregated nearly as much as the money from all sources. 

Circulars and pamphlets descriptive of the distressing condi- 
tions in Cuba were sent to Committees by the tens of thousands. 
Aside from copies of documents, letters and cablegrams, emanat- 
ing from the Department of State, Consul-General Lee and the 
other Consuls, the Committee sent out no literature, except that 
published by the Christian Herald, and bearing upon it no men- 
tion of the Central Cuban Relief Committee. 

15 



A great deal of money was no doubt thus diverted through 
the Christian Herald, being transferred therefrom to the Com- 
mittee. Owing to the ofHcial character of the Committee and 
the delicate relations existing at the time, between our own and 
the Spanish Governments, the Committee carefully abstained 
from the publication of any matter, either as news or descriptive 
literature, that could by any stretch of construction be deemed 
objectionable or offensive to Spanish sensibilities. It was largely 
for that reason, that literature of the Christian Herald, which con- 
tained many photographs of the famine-stricken reconcentrados, 
was employed. 

About April ist, the work had reached its greatest extent. 
Up to March 20th, all relief supplies arriving in New York were 
delivered direct to the Ward Line, Pier 16, East River, New 
York, for shipment to Havana, Santiago de Cuba and Cien- 
fuegos; that company also giving us free wharfage and storage. 
It was, of course, difficult by that arrangement to open and ex- 
amine contributed packages of miscellaneous materials to ascer- 
tain that no illicit goods were contained therein. During the 
month of March, General Lee reported that the Spanish customs 
officials had opened a suspicious looking package and found it 
contained a quantity of cheap jewelry and other similar contra- 
band articles. The box was marked to a private individual in 
General Lee's care and by some means passed the scrutiny of 
the Committee's agents in shipping. It served, however, to de- 
monstrate the importance of opening and repacking all pack- 
ages, except those containing purchased goods or those otherwise 
original in character. Accordingly, a storehouse at No. 46 Ferry 
street. New York, was secured from Mrs. S. Von Felde, who 
kindly donated its use, and power for elevator purposes was given 
by Messrs. Chas. A. Schieren & Co., whose large factory stood 
near by. 

Afterward no similar complaint came from the Spanish offi- 
cials. 

When the Committee was appointed, its duties consisted 
solely in appealing to the generous impulses of the people, 
through the formation of Committees and by other means, to 
secure the necessary donations in money and kind to carry on 
the work; the providing of transportation of all donated material 
from the points of its donation and the delivery of the same to 
Consul-General Lee at Havana. Urgent appeals soon came from 
the United States Consuls at Santiago de Cuba, Matanzas and 
Sagua la Grande, to which points it became necessary to make 
shipments direct by steamer, and upon request of the Department 
of State, through Consul-General Lee, permission was secured 
from the Spanish Government for making shipments to those 
places under the same restrictions and with the same privileges 
as to free entry, which applied to the port of Havana. 

16 



Early in February, Mr. J. K. Elwell was sent to Havana as 
the agent of the Committee, at the request of Consul-General Lee, 
to assist in receiving from the steamships, verifying and deHver- 
ing the reHef supphes into the warehouses for distribution. 

Prior to the latter part of March, the Committee was not en- 
trusted with supervision in the matter of distribution, that being 
left entirely to Consul-General Lee and the Consuls at other 
ports. It will be remembered that early in February Miss Clara 
Barton, of the American National Red Cross, and a portion of her 
staiif went to Havana with letters of introduction from the Presi- 
dent and the Secretary of State, having been invited to proceed 
to the field for the purpose of assisting the Consul-General in the 
detail of distribution. By the latter part of March, however, it 
had been demonstrated that this Committee could with advantage 
to the great work in hand, take part in the direction of distribu- 
tion, in view of the fact that the Consul-General and other Con- 
suls were so largely occupied with their official duties. A con- 
ference was held between the Committee and the Secretary of 
State, which resulted in extending the duty of the Committee to 
such supervision. This extension of scope brought the Com- 
mittee into direct relationship with the Red Cross, as will be more 
readily understood by the following resolution passed at a meeting 
of the Committee April 13th, a verbal arrangement having been 
made with Miss Clara Barton a fortnight earlier : 

"Whereas, The Department of State having extended the au- 
thority of this Committee to the supervision of distribution of re- 
lief supplies and the carrying out of all necessary relief measures, 
in co-operation with the American Consuls in Cuba; and this 
Committee, having verbally joined with the Department of State 
in asking the American National Red Cross, Miss Clara Barton 
President, to proceed at once to Cuba as the representative of 
this Committee and to perform in behalf of the Committee all 
necessary work of relief; therefore, be it 

Resolved, That the Chairman be authorized to write suitable 
letters to Miss Clara Barton, Consul-General Lee and the other 
American Consuls in Cuba, notifying them of this action." 

Prior to the date of this appointment of the Red Cross as the 
distributing agency of the Committee, it had no official knowl- 
edge of the progress and results of such work; consequently no 
report touching that feature of the relief can be made by the Com- 
mittee. 

Following the appointment of the Red Cross, it will be remem- 
bered that the work of distribution under the supervision of the 
Committee had scarcely been taken up when the breach of friendly 
relations between the two countries, by the retirement of our Con- 
suls and of the Red Cross, upon the advice of Consul-General 
Lee, put an end to that portion of our labors. 

Just prior to these events, however, the Committee, upon ad- 
vice of your Department, chartered the steamship "State of 

17 



Texas," loaded her with over eleven hundred tons of choice food 
and some medicine and clothing, and despatched her from New 
York on the 23d day of April for Key West, Fla., in charge of 
the Red Cross and under that flag, with directions to report for 
orders to the Naval Commandant at that port. She arrived 
there five days later and has remained at anchor in that harbor 
since, with the Red Cross Staff, numbering nearly twenty, aboard, 
impatiently awaiting a forward movement. The supplies in the 
vessel's hold are reported in excellent condition, there being noth- 
ing of a perishable nature, barring possibly some three hundred 
and fifty tons of cornmeal, which was the best of quality, kiln- 
dried and is presumably in good order. 

The exodus from Cuban ports brought to Key West and 
Tampa large numbers of destitute and hungry refugees. The 
Red Cross, upon directions from this Committee, has supplied 
their wants steadily since its arrival. There are, at the date of 
this report, some fifteen hundred of these refugees in Key West 
and one thousand in Tampa, who are being daily provided with 
food by Red Cross committees. 

We also came to the aid of the Government, temporarily, in 
feeding a large number of persons on the captured Spanish vessels 
assembled in Key West Harbor, there being no Government pro- 
visions for feeding them and their own supplies being exhausted. 
Upon the outbreak of hostilities and the enforced cessation 
of our relief work, we advised committees to discontinue the col- 
lection of supplies and money — temporarily, at least. In the 
meantime, however, as the proceeds of the gathering methods al- 
readv under way, there have accumulated over four hundred tons 
of supplies in the large Nye warehouses in Brooklyn (placed at our 
disposal by the Brooklyn Wharf and Warehouse Company), and 
over fifty thousand dollars in cash. A more particular account of 
these resources now on hand will be found in the schedules ap- 
pended. 

The purchases of the Committee were confined largely to the 
following articles: Cornmeal, bacon, condensed milk, hard 
bread, rice, codfish, lard, potatoes, prepared foods, quinine and 
other medicines. In addition to these, large quantities of similar 
supplies, contributed by committees and individuals throughout 
the country, went forward under the head of "Provisions" and 
were delivered in many cases directly from the cars or lighters 
to the vessels. It was thus practically impossible to accurately di- 
vide the supplies into detailed classes. 

It was ascertained very shortly after the work began that 
there was no means for grinding corn in Cuba and that the poor 
inhabitants had no means for cooking flour. The distributing 
committees were dependent upon the limited facilities and the ex- 
actions of private bakers; hence we found it advisable to either 
send flour in the form of hard bread or to send cornmeal, which 
could be readily cooked with the simpler facilities at hand. 

18 



Large quantities of flour and shelled corn, amounting to sev- 
eral hundred tons, were contributed almost wholly by committees 
in the Western States. Both of these supplies were sold at the 
highest market prices by commission merchants of good standing, 
who entered into the charitable work with a good will, and the 
proceeds were turned into the general fund for the purchase of 
meal, bacon, lard and other suitable supplies. 

As one item of interest, it may be noted that three hundred 
drums of dried codfish were donated through the New England 
Committee, at Boston; codfish being a staple article of food in 
Cuba. 

The Committee has made no attempt to procure an estimate 
of the money value of the free facilities furnished it by the rail- 
roads and other transportation companies, in handling the vast 
quantities of relief supplies to points of shipment, and thence to 
Cuba. It is safe to say, however, that it would aggregate many 
thousands of dollars. Likewise, had the provisions donated in the 
great Western cities and towns been purchased in the East in- 
stead of the West, where they were produced and where they were 
purchased at manufacturer's cost or less, they would represent a 
much larger sum than appears by the schedule of donated articles 
accompanying this report, the prices attached being the cost to the 
producers in many cases. 

We feel that this report might, with interest and propriety, 
be extended to much greater length by going more into detail and 
reproducing much of the correspondence between this Committee, 
the Departments of the Government and the Auxiliary Committees; 
and it would be a pleasure to us to recall and recount the many 
incidents manifesting the great and worthy character of American 
charity. But it might not become us as a nation to make promi- 
nent our own virtues. The Committee cannot, however, refrain 
from extending its cordial thanks to those with whom it has 
worked, on all sides. The bountiful responses from committees 
and individuals from Maine to California and from Washington 
and Oregon to Florida, in so short a period, has been truly mar- 
vellous, and with it there has been scarcely any manifestation of 
acrimony toward the Spanish methods which produced such 
scenes of suffering. Our impulses have seemed to have been 
stirred almost wholly by feelings of charity and humanity. 
Surely such a people ought not to be charged with wilful wrong- 
doing in the deplorable conditions which have succeeded this work 
of relief. 

Special thanks are due to the several steamship lines men- 
tioned and to the railroad companies, too numerous to mention, for 
free transportation of over 4,000 tons of freight and free passes 
for Red Cross members; to the Postal Telegraph Company for 
free transmission of hundreds of messages, far and near; to the 
Western Union Telegraph and Cable Companies for the privilege 
of government rates on despatches ; to the New York and New 

19 



Jersey Telephone Co. for the free use of telephone, which has had 
very little rest during the six months ; to Messrs. Wickoff, Sea- 
mans & Benedict, for free use of Remington typewriters ; to the 
Commercial Union Assurance Company, of London, for 
gratuitous use of one of the large offices used by the Committee, 
and almost the entire time of the Chairman of the Committee, 
who is one of that company's servants ; to Messrs. Blagden and 
Stillman for the free use of the two offices occupied by the Com- 
mittee from March 20th to May ist; to Mrs. Sophia Von 
Felde, for the use of storehouse at 46 Ferry Street from March 
i8th to May 21st; to the Brooklyn Wharf and Warehouse Com- 
pany for storage facilities and accommodations ; to the hundreds 
of donors of money and material whose namec appear in our lists, 
and the hundreds of others whose names do not appear, since 
their gifts came through committees; last, but not least, to Mr. 
I. P. Roosa, the U. S. Government Despatch Agent at New York, 
without whose valuable services in receiving, buying and ship- 
ping relief supplies, the Committee would have been greatly em- 
barrassed. At one time there were over 65 carloads of freight in 
transit, besides what was in warehouses. Mr. Roosa justly 
merits the title of "Despatch Agent." Through his prompt direc- 
tion of receiving supplies, lightering and discharging cars, 
scarcely any inconvenience was caused to the railroads and no 
words of complaint came from them. These details of the Com- 
mittee's work ran as smoothly as though its business had been long 
established. 

It seems proper to make mention herein, of such relief sup- 
plies as were sent forward to Cuba through means independent 
of this Committee, as far as such instances are known to it. A 
quantity unknown to us was gathered throughout the State of 
Pennsylvania, by the "Citizens' Committee" of Philadelphia, but 
where sent and how distributed we do not know. 

The Associate Society of the Red Cross of Philadelphia, also 
gathered and forwarded supplies as follows : On March 4th, 65 
tons; on March i6th, 112 tons, to Consul Brice at Matanzas ; and 
in April, 314 tons to Consul Hyatt at Santiago de Cuba. The 
latter shipment arrived about the time of Consul Hyatt's retire- 
ment. Materials sent to him by us which had not been dis- 
tributed at the time of his departure, were left with the British 
Consul, Mr. Ramsden, who made most faithful distribution of 
them and favored the Committee with' detailed reports of his la- 
bors. Much credit is due him for carrying out the work in our 
behalf, even after the Committees of ladies appointed by Consul 
Hyatt had all retired. In this connection we desire to commend 
Consul Hyatt for his painstaking efforts and most systematic work 
in distributing to some 5,000 starving reconcentrados in his city 
and in sending supplies into the interior. Through him we en- 
deavored, but in vain, to reach Consul Tiary, at Baracoa, who 
first called for relief in February. There being no means of 

20 



transportation to that out-of-the-way port, his calls brought no 
help from us. Such was the interest of Consul Hyatt in the work 
of relief, that we are notified by him, at the date of this report, of 
his departure from his home in Lewisburg, Pa., for Key West, 
for the purpose of joining the Red Cross staff on the "State of 
Texas." 

Simultaneously with the raising of 22 carloads of provisions by 
the Omaha World-Herald, in memory of the tragic death of Mrs. 
Senator Thurston, the Kansas City (Mo.) Star raised and for- 
warded to New Orleans some 600 tons of supplies. These were 
forwarded from New Orleans about the middle of April 
to Consul Brice at Matanzas, by the steamship "Utstein," 
chartered by the Department of State, out of funds do- 
nated directly to the Department. The supplies arrived 
only a few days prior to the retirement of Consul Brice; 
consequently some 400 tons (as reported) were left un- 
distributed. These were subsequently seized and confiscated by 
the Spaniards, as were also some 200 tons left by Consul General 
Lee' in the Habana warehouses. Neither of these lots was re- 
ceived in the name of the Red Cross, nor did they bear that 
sacred emblem. The Committee is informed in writing by Doc- 
tors Sollosso and Carbonell, both of whom served with Miss Bar- 
ton and Dr. Lesser in Red Cross hospital work in Habana and 
Matanzas Provinces, and who came to New York from Cuba 
late in May, that no article of food, clothing or medicine left at 
the hospitals or in the hands of committees, by the American Na- 
tional Red Cross, had been disturbed by the Spaniards ; while all 
supplies that entered through other channels, and had not been 
applied, were confiscated. These doctors estimate that some 700 
to 900 tons of foods must have been thus seized. 

On account of impaired health, Mr. Louis Klopsch resigned 
from the Committee on the i6th of April. 

While the amount of work in the conduct of Committee aflfairs 
has been materially lessened, owing to suspension of efforts previ- 
ously indicated, there still remains a great deal of detail, and the 
Conimittee is held intact, awaiting the further pleasure of the 
Department. Respectfully submitted, 

STEPHEN E. BARTON, 

Chairman, 

CHAS. A. SCHIEREN, 

Treasurer.

SUPPLEMENTAL AND FINAL REPORT OF THE 
CENTRAL CUBAN RELIEF COMMITTEE. 

New York, February 15, 1899. 

Hon. John Hay, Secretary, 

Department of State, 

Washington, D. C. 

Sir: — On the 15th of June last, we had the honor of submitting 
a report to your predecessor, covering the operations of this Com- 
mittee in the collection and distribution of Cuban Relief Supplies, 
from January i, 1898, the date of appointment by your Depart- 
ment, to the date of that report ; we now beg to submit the follow- 
ing supplemental report from June 15, 1898, to February 15, 1899. 

Appended hereto will be found the Treasurer's Statement of 
receipts and disbursements (Exhibit "E") and a schedule of the 
several lots of supplies forwarded to Cuba (Exhibit "F") during 
the period of this second report ; also a Summary of the gross re- 
ceipts and expenditures by the Committee since its formation 
(Exhibit "G"), and a grand schedule of all shipments made to 
Cuba, during the entire period of our work (Exhibit "H"). 

It was the Committee's intention to have discontinued its labors, 
in accordance with advice of the Department of State, shortly 
after the War Department was authorized to distribute rations to 
the destitute and suffering people in Cuba, and, as a matter of fact, 
no appeal for donations was thereafter made by us ; nevertheless, it 
will be seen that the cash receipts since June last have amounted 
to more than Forty Thousand Dollars, which, added to the Fifty- 
eight Thousand Dollars, unexpended balance at the date of our 
June report, has necessitated a continuance of the distribution 
work. 

The American National Red Cross, under the guidance of Miss 
Clara Barton, its President, has continued as the Distributing 
Agency. 

It will be remembered that, in obedience to the expressed wish 
of the President through the Secretary of State, a steamship, the 
"State of Texas," was chartered, loaded with one thousand tons, 
or more, of miscellaneous foods, medical and hospital supplies, and 
despatched on the 23d of April last, almost simultaneously with 
the Declaration of War, for Key West, Fla., where she reported 
for orders to the Naval Commandant, by direction of Secretary 
Day. Immediately thereafter negotiations were opened by Miss 
Barton for permission to enter the harbor of Havana with the 
"State of Texas," under the protection of the Red Cross, although 
the vessel was not commissioned under the "Additional Articles" 

75 



of the Geneva Treaty, applicable to naval warfare, the agreement 
under the "Modus Vivendi" not having been consummated at that 
time. 

Such a course, however, was not deemed prudent by Rear 
Admiral Sampson and the vessel accordingly remained at Key 
West and Tampa until after the departure of General Shafter's 
expedition. During her stay at Key West she was of great service 
to the government, in distributing food to the Spanish prisoners 
on board the many captured vessels. 

On the 20th of June the "State of Texas" sailed from Key West 
in pursuit of the army, arriving off Santiago de Cuba in about 
six days. 

In anticipation of hostilities the vessel had been provided, before 
leaving New York, with a large and varied assortment of hospital 
and field equipments, medicines and surgical supplies, tents and 
cots, and her staff included four Red Cross Surgeons and five 
trained female nurses from the Red Cross Hospital in New York, 
who had served in the Havana hospitals before the retirement of 
General Lee and the Red Cross. Thus, we were prepared for 
Auxiliary Aid to the Medical Department of the Army, under the 
provisions of the Geneva Conference and Convention, as well as 
for Cuban Relief purposes. 

Food and medicines were furnished to Cuban sufferers at and 
near Guantanamo, before the commencement of active hostilities ; 
hospital relief was administered to the sick in the Cuban hospitals 
and upon the arrival of the wounded at Siboney the Red Cross, by 
the aid of the Cuban Relief Ship and her immense cargo of every- 
thing necessary, became a valuable adjunct to the Medical Service 
of the Army. At the request and by the kind co-operation of 
General Shafter and the other military commanders, large quan- 
tities of supplies were landed from the "State of Texas" and sent 
to the front. The twenty or thirty thousand non-combatants, who 
sought refuge at El Caney during the siege, were kept from starv- 
ation by the supplies from our ship. 

Upon the surrender of Santiago, the "State of Texas" was per- 
mitted by Rear Admiral Sampson to be the first vessel to enter 
the harbor. Her cargo was entirely discharged and placed in 
warehouses within a few days after her arrival, and the vessel 
was immediately returned to New York and delivered to her own- 
ers on the 29th of July, having been in our service three months 
and nine days. 

By the kind courtesy of the War Department we forwarded 
from New York on July i, by the U. S. Transport "Port Victor," 
eight hundred and fifty tons of Cuban Relief and Red Cross sup- 
plies, consisting mainlv of large donations from the Omaha 
"World-Herald" and Western Committees, which had accumu- 
lated in our warehouses subsequent to the sailing of the "State of 
Texas." At Port Tampa the "Port Victor" also took aboard for us 
forty mules, six ambulances and several tons of hay and grain, 

7^ 



intended for Red Cross field and Cuban Relief distribution work 
in Santiago Province. We were unable, however, to get these sup- 
plies landed at Santiago de Cuba, for more than six weeks after 
the vessel arrived at that port. 

Upon being discharged, these supplies were immediately loaded 
upon the schooner "Mary E. Morse," chartered by this Committee, 
and sent (September 7) to the northern coast of Santiago Prov- 
ince, where they were landed at Baracoa and Gibara by agents 
of the Red Cross, and distribution was rapidly pushed forward to 
Holguin and other places in the interior. We have already ad- 
vised your department that, upon the arrival of U. S. troops, 
under command of Col. Hood, some ten thousand dollars' worth 
of our supplies were forcibly seized from the Red Cross Agents, 
by order of that officer, and our distribution to the thousands of 
suffering at Gibara, Holguin and other places in that locality was 
abruptly brought to an end. We have no knowledge of what 
became of these supplies, our agents having moved forward to 
Matanzas and Havana after their supplies were taken from them. 

About the middle of August, Miss Barton and a portion of her 
staff sailed from Santiago de Cuba for Havana, with a portion 
of the "State of Texas" cargo, on the U. S. transport "Clinton," 
for the purpose of resuming reHef work in that section, the Secre- 
tary of War having advised her by cablegram at Santiago that 
the transport "Comal" would be despatched from Port Tampa, 
with two thousand tons of government rations, to be distributed 
under her superintendence at Havana. Her arrival there was met 
by a demand for duties, almost equal to the value of the "Clin- 
ton's" cargo. The "Comal's" cargo was not placed at the disposal 
of the Red Cross. 

For the purpose of supplying Cuban refugees who had gathered 
at Key West in large numbers, and whom we had been feeding 
and clothing since the first of May with supplies landed from the 
"State of Texas" and purchased there, we shipped from New 
York, by schooner "Nokomis" on the 29th of July, one hundred 
and twenty-five tons. 

In order to replenish Miss Barton's store with a finer assortment 
of food and medicine, suitable for hospital use at Havana, we 
sent from New York on August 24, in charge of Agent D. L. 
Cobb, by steamer "Kennett," fourteen tons of such supplies. 
These reached Havana just after Miss Barton's withdrawal on 
the "Clinton" to Port Tampa, Fla., and were met by the same 
demand for excessive duties. The goods were accordingly lodged 
in the Custom House until they were subsequently allowed to be 
entered free and were distributed by our agent, Mr. George W. 
Hyatt, who had served us faithfully at Key West during May, 
June, July and August, and had succeeded in sending many lots 
of supplies by Cuban coasting vessels to small ports west and 
east of Havana, during and after the blockade, by permission of 
the authorities of both governments. 

77 



On the first of September, in the expectation that Miss Barton 
would be freely aided, rather than obstructed, in relieving the 
terrible misery in Havana and Western Cuba, this Committee 
chartered the steamship "City of San Antonio" in New York and 
loaded her with five hundred tons of very choice supplies, includ- 
ing some medicines and clothing. The entire month of September 
passed before we saw any prospect of being permitted to land her 
goods free, and she was consequently held in New York until 
October i, when she was sent to Key West, where she took on 
board all supplies remaining in our warehouse there — being the 
balance of the "Nokomis" cargo — and sailed for Matanzas, which 
had been designated as a port of "free entry." 

While the "Comal's" cargo, originally sent to Havana, was 
landed and distributed in Matanzas, Red Cross Agent J. K. Elwell 
and his assistants succeeded in forwarding the cargo of the "City 
of San Antonio" to Sagua La Grande, Caibarien, Nuevitas, Santa 
Clara, Cienfuegos and a score of smaller intermediate places, all 
of which were in a most deplorable and distressing condition of 
starvation. 

By November the embargo having been removed at Havana, 
we began making shipments to Agent Hyatt at that port, as will 
appear by reference to Exhibits "F" and "H." 

Urgent appeals having reached us by cable from Rear Admiral 
Sampson and by personal request of General Jose M. Gomez, to 
go to the relief of some five or ten thousand old men, women and 
children in and near Sancti Spiritus, Santa Clara Province, we 
despatched Red Cross Agents W. S. Warner and B. G. Conkling 
to that field about December i, sending a large quantity of relief 
materials by steamer "Seneca" on the 8th of December, and a 
similar quantity by the same vessel on the 5th of January. Those 
two agents are just about closing their work at the date of this 
report, having moved from Sancti Spiritus (which had been 
reached by the government supplies) to Santa Clara. 

In the meantime, during the months of September, November, 
January and February we have supplied hospitals in Havana, in 
charge of Dr. Juan B. Sollosso, who served with the Red Cross 
at Havana and Santiago de Cuba. 

The Committee feels gratified that such a large percentage — - 
more than 75 per cent. — of the aggregate donations has been dis- 
tributed to the sufferers in Cuba. The cost of administering this 
relief — but 21^ per cent. — would have been much less, except 
for the necessity of chartering special vessels at high prices, dur- 
ing the heat of the war. 

The proportion of expense would, at the same time, have been 
much larger except for the gratuitous handling of more than one- 
half of our material, by the railroad and steamship companies 
and the government, notably the roads composing the Joint Traffic 
Association and the Ward Line steamers. 

About 40 per cent. 'of the cost of administration was applied to 

78 



the chartering of the steamships "State of Texas" and "City of 
San Antonio" and the schooner "Mary E. Morse." 

The Chairman and Treasurer of the Central Cuban ReHef Com- 
mittee also acted in similar capacities, respectively, for the Execu- 
tive Committee of the American National Red Cross from and 
after the first of June, the work of the two Committees having 
been performed jointly, with the same staff and in the same of- 
fices at No. 58 William street. New York. The expense of each 
Committee was thus proportionately lessened and that part fairly 
chargeable to Red Cross Army Relief Work was willingly con- 
tributed by the American National Red Cross Relief Committee of 
New York and paid into the funds of the Cuban Relief Com- 
mittee, out of whose account the entire expense was paid. In 
the Treasurer's statement an item of $12,162.51 will be found cred- 
ited to the Red Cross Relief Committee, which represents their 
share of this expense. That Committee, furthermore, kindly do- 
nated for Cuban Relief purposes considerable quantities of food 
and hospital supplies, which were not needed at the great Red 
Cross relief stations at the Military Camps. The utmost degree 
of harmony and co-operation characterized the joint labors of the 
Cuban Relief and Red Cross Relief Committees. 

On the 30th of June Mr. O. B. Booth, who had been the Secre- 
tary of this Committee since its formation, was compelled to resign 
that position on account of other engagements, and Mr. Fred. L. 
Ward was elected as his successor. 

We intend this for our final report and hope to be able to dis- 
solve the Committee as soon as we can have the report printed and 
distributed among the numerous donors for Cuban Relief purposes 
and others interested. _ , _ 

After outstanding expenses and those incident to the distribu- 
tion of the report are paid, we shall probably have approximately, 
$7,500 balance, and it is our wish to turn this over to Miss Clara 
Barton, of the American National Red Cross, for Hospital Work 
in Cuba — she having been requested by the President, Secretary of 
War and General Brooke, to establish such work in Cuba. 

If such disposition of the balance of our fund meets your ap- 
proval, we wish you would kindly write us to that effect, in order 
that we may include such approval in our report, thus accounting 
for all funds that have come into our hands. We would like this 
approval at the present time, as our report is now in the printing 
office. 

The report will be submitted to the Department in the near 
future. 

Respectfully submitted, 

STEPHEN E. BARTON, Chairman. 

CHAS. A. SCHIEREN, Treasurer.

"Air. Stephen E. Barton, Chairman, 

Central Cuban Rehef Committee, 

58 WilHam street, New York. 

"Dear Sir: — Your letter of the 27th ultimo, stating that your 
Committee, at the close cf its work and upon a final settlement of 
its accounts, would probably have a balance relief fund of about 
$7,500, and suggesting that this amount be turned over to Miss 
Clara Barton, President of the American National Red Cross, for 
hospital work in Cuba, has been received. 

"In reply it gives me pleasure to inform you that after due con- 
sideration of the matter the President approves of such disposition 
of the fund remaining in your care, as it is thought no better or 
more appropriate use could be made of it than to assist in the hos- 
pital work in Cuba. 

"I am, sir, your obedient servant, 

"JOHN HAY."

in Cuba. If such disposition meets your approval, please write 

us to that effect. 

Yours truly,

"Dear Sir : — It is my pleasure to acknowledge the receipt of your 
kind letter of February 27th, in which you enclose a copy of your 
letter to the Honorable Secretary of State, announcing the prepara- 
tion of the report of your Committee from the ist of January, 
1898, to February, 1899, and also informing him of your intention 
to turn over the balance in money, which may remain, for the use

Your letter also asks, if such disposition meets my approval, that 
I write to inform you so, and it is with that object that this letter 
is written. I beg to state that I and all the members of the Na-
